“I wonder what he does for a living now to afford the $50 rent?
Teaches philosophy”

But,he’s still short $25.00 of making the rent. He has to collect elephant dung to sell to fertilizer manufacturers.
But,he was lucky and saw 4 elephants the other day.

Mooches off his overweight Indian wife who’s working up the courage to tell him she wants a green card? Wow did she get a winner.

And the black girl who moved to Japan and expected to assimilate. Uh...

High School Guidance Counselors have been complicit in the everybody should go to college nonsense.
__________
It’s the best way to indoctrinate students and keep professors with strange and useless majors employed.

A friend of mine worked the cafeteria counter at Woolworth’s while going to college. He was BSing with some guys making a delivery, and the driver asked him what his major was. I think it was library science with a minor in philosophy, or maybe it was philosophy, at that point. The driver called out to the guy unloading the truck with a dolly, and said “Tell him What degree you have. “ Dude said “Master’s in philosophy. “

A fast web search says a one way plane ticket to India is more than a thousand dollars, more than 3 months of payments and 5%+ of his loan balance.

If he couldn’t pay the payments, how did he pay for a plane ticket? Or did he ditch that debt, too?

You can thank the Warren Supreme Court (via the 1971 Griggs vs. Duke Power decision) for forcing companies to use a college degree as proof of competency, as it ruled that intelligence testing as a condition of hire was discriminatory.

Those are the political officer jobs social justice graduates expect to get, whether in academia, government or for big businesses.

ACADEMIC FAST FOOD

I am starting an “Academic Fast Food” restaurant.

Young adults get to come in and eat all they want for free.
You can eat free for 4 years.

The Government will subsidize the loans.

But after 4 years, you need to pay back the Government,
about $50,000 for use of the service.

They shall put the borrower on a payment plan for 8 years.

Oh and the price of fast food shall skyrocket.

Just vote for me, TheNext, this election, I got clever plans.

That was why I have no problem with the universities being forced to disgorge profits/endowments to pay off the student loans. It would force a lot of Lefty perfessers to find a real job.

Bill Bennett’s degree is in Philosophy. He hasn’t done too bad.

Bill Bennett has a brain and work ethic; he would have done well if he majored in tiddlywinks.
